Michael Cura, one of a group of 29 pupils and teachers from Bishop Vaughan School in Swansea, died not far from Santiago, on the 9th day of his camino. Very sad.

Very, very hard to hear about the passing of someone so young to a cardiac arrest. I hope his last nine days were full of joy on the Camino and readied him for the next great journey. RIP young man.

So much sadness for his family and friends.
I am always without words when someone so young dies.
Again...so much sorrow and sadness.

It is always sad to hear of a pilgrim passing but even more so when so young. His poor family.
